"Music in the Silence will take you on a magical musical tour to other lands, spaces and consciousness, with a probable detour to deeper understanding and self-healing."
In a recent review, Kathy Parsons from Solo Piano Publications said of this new recording:
"Master cellist/composer/conductor Ron Clearfield has created a masterpiece that melds classical, jazz, world, folk, and new age stylings to convey a message of love, healing, and global unity. The cello is such a soulful instrument, and in Clearfield's hands, it sings, cries, dances, and offers solace and hope. 'Music In the Silence' is an album of incredible beauty that will definitely be on my Top 10 list for 2006. Bravo!"
